Got a retroid locket 5.
Wish I’d done it years ago. Never had more accessible gaming.
And not just retro titles. Stardew Valley, modern metroidvanias, etc are amazing on it.

Definitely. I’ve written some small games. Gave them away free on the play store.
Lasted about 3 years tops before they were removed for not supporting X, Y and Z new features.
Shame. One of them had tens of thousands of downloads.

Great Northern. It’s basically XXXX but about 20 times worse, tastes terrible, and sells like crazy. I don’t understand.

The police work for the state, not the people. You’re right on the money.
- Comment on Where to watch the New Year's Eve fireworks in your capital city 1 month ago:
That’s clearly a play by the sick leadera of the state to make the workers look and feel guilty.
Look at those bad proles, wanting fair conditions. We best cancel a community event, and blame them.
Norty proles.

- Comment on 'Cooker, anti-vaxxer, sheep': The people Australia's COVID-19 response forgot 3 months ago:
This was the situation in Australia:
news.com.au/…/0c1fa02818c99a5ff65f5bf852a382cf
Some key quotes from the former Australian Medical Association (AMA) president.
“This is an issue that I have witnessed first-hand with my wife who suffered a severe neurological reaction to her first Pfizer vaccine within minutes, including burning face and gums, paraesethesiae, and numb hands and feet, while under observation by myself, another doctor and a registered nurse at the time of immunisation,” the 65-year-old said.
The diagnosis and causation has been confirmed by several specialists who have told me that they have seen ‘a lot’ of patients in a similar situation.”
Her comment which is what I was referring to:
“Regulators of the medical profession have censored public discussion about adverse events following immunisation, with threats to doctors not to make any public statements about anything that ‘might undermine the government’s vaccine rollout’ or risk suspension or loss of their registration,” she said.
It was very real here. I’m not sure where you’re from, but here, if anyone didn’t say exactly what they were told, consequences were real.
Hence, those nurses in the linked story from OP, I personally feel probably knew, but were fearful. I can say that for sure though. Based on how things were at the time, it would make sense.
- Comment on 'Cooker, anti-vaxxer, sheep': The people Australia's COVID-19 response forgot 3 months ago:
In Australia, doctors could lose their licenses for stepping outside the official line.
Nobody could be honest in the medical world, at that time. Maybe still? I’m not sure, but unlikely. Those nurses and doctors were probably too scared to speak the truth I’d imagine.
